Two men found dead in a car in Annapolis

Detectives from the Annapolis Police Department are investigating the deaths of two men who were found Sunday morning unconscious in a vehicle parked at 24/7 Fuel Mart, a gas station in the 1200 block of Forest Drive in Annapolis.

When police officers arrived at the scene, they discovered that the two men in the vehicle were dead. Their bodies were taken to the Medical Examiner's Office in Baltimore to determine the exact cause of death.

Police identified the men Monday as Paul Hunter, 34, and Michael Lee Skirvin III, 29, both of Lusby in Calvert County. Police said a preliminary investigation indicates both men died as a result of a drug overdose.

A 31-year-old man who was sentenced to 20 years in prison in Baltimore after he pleaded guilty to possessing 5.9 grams of marijuana won an appeal Wednesday invalidating the plea — raising the possibility that he will be released.
